Steven Seagal needed a new approach to his standard head-busting heroics, so he teamed up with Keenen Ivory Wayans for this routine 1996 action flick. This time stone-faced Steve plays Los Angeles homicide detective Jack Cole, newly transplanted from New York and teamed up with Jim Campbell (Wayans). They're assigned to track down 'The Family Man,' a serial killer who earned his nickname by crucifying entire families and leaving religious graffiti as his calling card. The case heats up when the latest victim turns out to be Cole's ex-wife, and Cole is considered a primary suspect. That makes Seagal get really mad--you don't wanna get Seagal too upset, y'know--but he still has time to quote Buddhist wisdom and crack wise with Wayans, who plays it relatively straight as the practical half of this partnership. It's typical Seagal stuff all the way, with obligatory fight scenes every 10 minutes or so, but Seagal fans will enjoy it, and Brian Cox makes a suitably hissable villain. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Glimmer Of Hope? Maybe Not.
With "Under Siege 2" behind him, Seagal's descent was under way by the time "The Glimmer Man" came to be. Without exaggeration, this is probably our hero's most narcicistic film before his repetitious DTV outings, and one of his lazier productions overall: storyline? - reworked from "Se7en"; action? - same ol', same ol'; supporting cast? - decent, but who cares since Seagal's the star?
Okay, maybe I'm being a bit harsh, since this movie is far removed from Seagal's worst offerings, but when ... Read More
Rating:  - Segal's first foray into the buddy genre
The Glimmer Man is Steven Segal's first forary into a buddy movie. Kennan Ivory Wayana gives some good one liners in the film and he even gets beat up a few times. The film has some nice action sequences and some chemsitry between Segal and Wayans. I give *** out of ****.
Rating: - The Beginining Of The Fall Of Lord Steven Seagal
I guess Seagal wanted to be a little like Eastwood here; giving a more forensic approach to his movies, a little twist here and there...and why not a little of Seagal's special recipe of bone crushing formula, it wont due any harm...right?..Wrong, this movie is the perfect example of Segal's downfall from stardom. Since Seagal isn't as thin or as fast as he used to be, he needs a co-star to have a little more screen time so Seagal can catch his breath and eat little more doughnuts. Seriously Seagal ...

Rating: - Glimmer Man
Wayans is funny in this movie. Steven Seagal is a little bit slower, but still I find it entertaining and I still love him.
Rating: - Despite the corny name still a decent watch
Seagal movies is something I keep around when I want to see people beat half to death. When I want to see some real martial arts I toss on Bruce or Jet. Seagal is alright at best. This movie has The Pony Tailed One mixing it up with The Russian Mafia. Teamed up with Keenan Wayans. The movie delivers with some funny dialogue and good fight scenes. The movie does have a good story and plot with some nice twist. So it's not just all brawn.
This is a nice action flick with a bit of gunplay. ... Read More
